The standalone expansion to the award-winning Total War™: SHOGUN 2 explores the conflict between the Imperial throne and the last Shogunate in 19th century Japan, 400 years after the events of the original game. A dramatic clash of traditional Samurai culture with the explosive power of modern weaponry.
Guide ancient Japan into the modern age, as the arrival of America, Britain and France incites a ferocious civil war which will decide the future of a nation.

Dramatic 19th century Japan setting

Based on the backdrop of the Boshin War period, the new campaign starts in 1864, a time of growing resentment against Western colonial power and influence. As Japan begins to modernise and industrialise, the inevitable social and economic changes lead to increasingly militant nationalism and antipathy towards the Shogunate.

6 new playable clans

Play as a clan supporting the Imperial throne, or the last Shogunate:

Shogunate clans: Aizu, Nagaoka, Jozai

Imperial clans: Choshu, Satsuma, Tosa

New foreign powers

The American, British and French nations play an important part in the story of the Boshin war, and your relations with these foreign powers will be integral to unit recruitment and to advancing your technology trees.

New 19th century Japan campaign map

The new island of Ezo extends the SHOGUN 2 campaign map northwards.

Fully refreshed towns and other campaign map features reflect the new time period, with railways making their first appearance in a Total War title.

Campaign map railways

Develop your own railway network to move armies and agents between your regions.

Railways can be sabotaged and transport can be blocked by enemy armies who take control of parts of the line or stations.

39 new land units

Including modern ranged units - such as the Gatling gun and Armstrong gun - controllable in a new third-person mode.

New units can also be recruited from foreign powers, including the British Royal Marines, US Marine Corps and French Marines.

10 new naval unit types with a total of 21 ships

New steam-powered warships, heavily armed with modern artillery.

Foreign ironclad ships can also be purchased, including the Warrior-class ironclad.

New port siege battle type

This new battle type triggers when attempting a naval assault on an occupied enemy port.

The attacking fleet must sail into the harbour and capture the port, running the gauntlet of coastal gun defences.

New land and sea unit interactions

During a land battle, armies can call in offshore artillery support barrages.

Conversely, costal gun emplacements can target enemy ships during port siege battles, when ending their turn within the range of upgraded coastal defences.

The Fall of the Samurai expansion combines the base Shogun 2 game with improved ranged combat similar to Empire/Napoleon Total War and a vastly buffed naval combat system. Navies in general are much more valuable due to their contributions to sieges or even coastal land battles. Campaign AI and Combat AI were given some improvements as well.

tldr: Shogun 2 + Napoleon Total War = Fall of the Samurai. The combination works and is amazing in action.

The second and as of writing, the second expansion pack to Shogun 2 and wow is it worth the money. First of all you get 6 factions in the campaign mode which is an extra 60+ hours of gameplay alone and for a mere £2 extra (basically less than the price of a cup of coffee), you get an extra clan that will add at least 10+ more hours to your gameplay.

The game engine is now better optimised and much more stable and also runs the game more smoothly on mid to low range machines capable of playing it. Anyone who was having trouble running the game beforehand should give it a go.

Multiplayer has basically gotten a huge expansion too given that the game's added well over 60 new land and naval units plus a 19th Century avatar skill tree. The combination of 12th, 17th and 19th century units also adds a huge variety of tactice and batttle/play styles so you should easily find one that suits you.
